We “Rise Up and Shine On!”<\/h2>\n

At Lewis Elementary School we believe in opportunity! Teachers and staff passionately pursue excellence by sparking curiosity and affording our students the opportunity to be creative, innovative, think deeply, and become leaders who communicate ideas that embrace dialogue and foster teamwork to collaborate, question and solve problems.<\/p>\n

We believe our students must have voice and choice in their learning. Student agency is key. We provide an environment where students think critically, communicate ideas clearly, co-create, and problem solve any challenge put before them. We celebrate flexible thinking and create spaces where our students develop the skills necessary to succeed in future endeavors.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FDLTNwpHpKE” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”help-desk” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”20px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” border_width_top=”1px” border_color_top=”#F4F4F4″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

As Powerful Learners<\/h3>\n

Students are immersed in dynamic environments where they flourish, thrive and inspire others. Through self-reflection students grow through feedback and take ownership of their learning.<\/p>\n

As Future Leaders<\/h3>\n

Building collective capacity in students and teachers is imperative and

Tech Squad<\/h2>\n

Our All-Star Tech Squad is a team of student digital leaders who promote creativity, inspire, and teach strategies for communicating ideas using a variety of tools. Tech Squad partners with other classrooms to provide personalized support and mentors younger students and teachers that are learning new forms of technology. <\/p>\n

An exciting role that our tech students take lead on is producing news segment videos shown schoolwide which highlight and celebrate their unique strengths and creativity. In addition, squad members lead district wide technology expos, present at board of education meetings, principal meetings, teacher tech fairs, and serve as a model program for other school sites across our district.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/r2BbitW1gfY” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ use_custom_gutter=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”10px||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/web.dusd.net\/lewis\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2021\/12\/innovation-lab-510px.jpg” alt=”studente working on a robotics project” title_text=”innovation-lab-510px” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin_tablet=”||20px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Innovation Labs<\/h2>\n

Students have access to an Innovation and Design Lab where they interact with the principles of engineering and design. On any given day students in the lab build and program robots, write code in Scratch Jr. or Swift Playgrounds, and collaborate on unique 3D designs. As a result, students are highly engaged and unleash their creativity.<\/p>\n
